<div dir="ltr">Dear Suchith,<div><br></div><div>The National College of Public Administration and Governance, University of the Philippines is actively promoting the Spatial Information Management (SIM) track under the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) program. In addition to offering this specialization, the program is also offering an elective course on GIS for public administration that is open to all MPA students.</div>
<div><br></div><div style>Right now, we are also embarking on the development of a case study project that will highlight the use of open source GIS in the context of local development planning. </div><div style><br></div>
